miss annie UOOuWlu VI CuSnndll, Is
visiting the family of Judge Wilson at this
place. Her friends here hardly recognized
in the handsome young lady the little girl
who used to be seen on our streets few
years ago.
Prof. G. s. Bruun, who has been
teaching music at Barren Fork left for

The colored folks in town and vicin-
ity have all been transferred to school
district No "a, where they have quite a

independence circuit court last week. He
was elected special Judge in the case of
State VS.. John Pool indicted as an acces-
sorry after the fact in a murder case.

We learn from Maj. s. H. Davidson,
backer of the Pea Jacket B, B, club, that
a challenge has been sent to the Barren
Fork club to play next Saturday. Their
answer has not yet been received. We
suppose they will not play for more than
$500 and the gate receipts.

The late examination of teachers
conducted by the County Examiner was
satisfactory to all applicants SO far as we
have been able to learn several young
professors from this place are now engag
e2 in teaching the young idea how to
shoot and we trust that each Ole fully
realizes the responsibility Of the position
be has assumed. Remember that the
destiny of souls is to very great extent
committed to your care. The preacher
in the pulpit occupies place but little
more exalted than yours; for it is his ous,
mess to complete tine edifce upon the
foundation which it is your duty to lay.
How important then that your work
should be true t o the line-that no faul-
ty material should be permitted to enter
into its construction. If you accomplish
your task properly, your personal supel-
vision to every detail is necessary. Con-
slant forethought and a sound judgement
must characterize your every action; and
the force of your good example must be
sufficiently marked to prove contagious,
The plastic characters Of your pupils
must be formed into the living likeness S
of noble me and women, The
life Of the future citizen for good
or evil will be affected by your conduct,
and any derelction of duty will be
charged to your account in the final set
tlement Do not regard our moralizings
as empty vaporings but impress your
self with the dignity of your station and
so demean yourself that you may earn
the plaudit, well done' and justly ap
propriate the precious mead OF praise.
All these things are expressly or implied
ly required by the laws of the state and
your failure to comply works injury on
your patrons and pupils and a forfeiture
of your right to the position which you
now occupy.
We are requested to announce that
Rev NJ. D. East will preach at the Bap-
tist church in this place next Saturday,
1T IL o'clock A. M. and continue the
services till Sunday night. We hope
our people will give him large audi
ence.
